Note:
Set your answering machine to auto answer.
Your answering machine must be set to an-
swer on a maximum of 4 rings. If not. you
may not be able to receive faxes sent by
automatic dialling.
If your answering machine has a toll saver
function, make sure that it will answer by
the fourth ring.
When using Distinctive Ring (Fax Duet or FaxAb\lity), the answering machine
settings are not required. Set the answering machine to answer after 4 or more
rings,
If your answering machine has a remote retrieval function, make sure the code
used to activate-remote retrieval is different from the code used to activate fax
reception with an extension telephone (see "Receiving Documents" in Chapter
3). If they are the same. entering the code from an outside telephone to retrieve
messages will cause the fax machine to be activated.
How the answering machine mode operates
While you are out, all of your incoming calls will be answered by your answering
machine and its outgoing message will play, During this time, your fax will quietly
monitor the line. If your fax detects a fax transmission. it will take over the line and begin
reception.
+ If the connection is not good or there is noise on the line. the answering machine
and/or fax machine may not respond properly.
+ The call counter on your answering machine may indicate that voice messages were
received. when only fax messages were received.
Note: When Option Setting 10 (A.M. CONNECTED) is set to YES and the reception
mode is set to FAX, the fax may interrupt voice calls made or received on an
extension phone. If you want to use the answering machine hook-up while you
are in to monitor incoming calls, you can prevent fax interruption of calls on a
touch-tone extension phone by pressing any 3 keys on the phone other than the
code to activate fax reception ("5", "*", and"* ").
